The Situation in Indiana,

In Indiana last year the question came up
whether at the regular election in Novem-
ber candidate for lieutenant governor
should be voted for. So that no mistake
should be made the whole subject was sub
nhtted by Gov. Gray to the attorney gen.
eral of the state, who is a Democrat. He
decided that an election was proper, and IN
the writ directing the holding of an cleo
tion there was included, among the officers
to be elected, "a lieutenant governor.n
The political parties each nominated q
man for the place, and greatly to the aston
ishment of the Democrats the Republican
candidate, Col. Robertson, was elected.
This produced CONSERVATION in the Dem
ocratic camp, most particularly that portion
of IL which wanted Gov. Young elected to
the United States Senate, After consultation
among the leaders, Senator Green Smith,
Democrat, who had been president pro tenn.
Of the senate at the preceding session, and

preSiding officer, commenced proceedings In
the state court to prevent Lieut.. Gov.
Robertson from obtaining the office
to which he wGs elected, and which
made him ex.ollicio president of the sem
ate. The court decided against Senator
Smith, and appeal was taken to the supreme
court OF the state, which is composed of
four Democratic lawyers and one Repuoll-
can. This court sustained the court below,
and the indianapolis Sentinel, the Demo-
cratic organ at the capital of the state,
commenting on the decision and the court,
the next day began an editorial with the
sentence "Damn their cowardly souls.n
Under the laws of Indiana, when the
senate assemblies the state auditor opens It,
but on this occasion he failed to put in an
appearance, and, being Democrat, is pre-.
sumably in conspiracy for the purpose of
preventing the Republican lieutenant GOV

which he was elected, and Senator Green
Smith usurped the position of presiding
officer, being sustained in his usurpation
by the other Democratic senators, who con-

A Disgrace to American Politics.


II has been supposed that It was impossi
bic TO reach lower depth Of infamy than
that achieved by the Ohio Democracy In
their frantic efforts to control that Republic
can state, but the Indiana Democrats have
just demonstrated that from lowest depths
there is still q lower deep into which they
can lunge.
But for the fact that the American people
can I've safely trusted to right all wrongs,
the proceedings Of the Democratic majority
Of the Indiana state senate would go far TO
shake the belief Of honest men In the theory
Of self-government and universal suffrage.
AS II is, the action of the majority is q
lasting Disgrace to American politics and
blur upon the good name Of the American
people, II It is possible for any Democratic
action to produce such a result.
1t is true that the Great Teacher long ago
laid down the rule that It was folly to ex-
pect TO gather figs from thistles, and the
conduct Of the Democratic leaders since the
time when they led portion of the coun-
try into rebellion has been such that to ex-
pect any good from them would be akin TO
the folly Of attempting to gather figs from
thistles.
The Republican party, however, does not
and cannot suffer from these impotent at
tempts Of the Democrats to obtain by fraud
or force or both combined temporary ad-
vantages. All their attempts react upon
that party for the permanent benefit Of the
Republicans, and, from party standpoint,
they can view these Democratic efforts with
complacency, though they at the same time
deprecate the low state Of morality which
they indicate as existing in Democratic
leaders.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer of the 9TH in
stant has an open letter to the Hon, G, f.
Seney which makes some serious charges
against the civil service commission. The
writer says "he can prove by oral and docu-

has appointed father and son to positions in
the same Office; that 1t has appointed men
10 places who can neither read nor write
that it has given places to deserters from
the regular navy in preference to houorably
discharged sailors or soldiers.n There are
other charges, but these are enough, II
proven, to discredlt the commission, Mr.

The simple truth is that he was beaten by

10 the fact that the names of two such dis

no indication of their strength and popu-
